X-Change is a series of eroge visual novels produced by Crowd and translated for North American release by Peach Princess. The plot revolves around a male protagonist as he changes gender through some unfortunate means and attempts to get back to his male self. The original series had three games produced for it and an offshoot series involving a similar situation was produced by the same company, although it involved different characters. Upgraded versions of the original game were produced by Crowd, but have not been released in English.
